First off, if you haven’t kept up with the saga of Amazon Web Services and Elastic, here’s the briefest of recaps. A few years ago, AWS basically forked ElasticSearch to offer it as a service, much to the open source community’s dismay.

The back and forth between ElasticSearch and AWS continues this week, this time with Elastic making further attempts at closing off access to ElasticSearch and shutting out AWS. AWS, in response, has said that it is working on keeping clients of OpenSearch and Elasticsearch compatible with open source.
